Scotchcast Plus Casting Tape, Lightweight Fiberglass
A lightweight, strong fiberglass casting tape with plaster like handling, available in 13 colors so patients can choose their cast covering. It is a standard item in dental and medical practice.
Scotchcast Plus Casting Tape is a fiberglass casting tape used in orthopedic and emergency medicine settings for immobilising fractures and supporting bones and joints during healing. It combines the strength and light weight typical of fiberglass casting tape with a handling feel closer to traditional plaster, which many clinicians find easier to mold and shape smoothly around the limb during application.
Once wrapped and cured, the tape sets into a rigid, supportive cast that keeps the injured area stable while it heals. A notable feature of this product is that it is available in 13 different colors, letting patients, particularly children, choose a color for their cast rather than being limited to a single plain option, which can make the experience of wearing a cast more comfortable psychologically.
This casting tape is used by orthopedic surgeons, emergency department clinicians and cast technicians in hospitals, clinics and orthopedic practices whenever a rigid cast is needed to immobilise a fracture or support a healing bone or joint.
